Greens’ push to censure David Leyonhjelm

The Australian Greens will try to censure independent senator David Leyonhjelm for telling Sarah Hanson-Young on the floor of parliament to "stop shagging men".

Greens leader Richard Di Natale on Monday confirmed the minor party would push ahead with the move as Senator Hanson-Young sues Senator Leyonhjelm for defamation over comments in subsequent media interviews.
